An investigation lead by Bank Indonesia (BI), the country’s central bank, found 44 businesses on the island were receiving cryptocurrency transactions.

The 44 businesses are in the tourism and hospitality sector, including vehicle rental services, cafes, and tour packages, according to head representative of BI Bali Province, Causa Iman Karana.

The findings are the result of a BI-led investigation on the island, which was announced almost two weeks ago, surveying a number of businesses suspected of using cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, based on tips from the community and information found on social media.

“We found that the current number is 44, but we estimate it may be more than that,” Karana said on Tuesday.

JAKARTA – The period of goods and containers (dwelling time) in a number of import export container terminals managed by Pelindo Indonesia (Pelindo) III as of January 25, 2018 averaged 5.4 days.

The average dwelling time at container terminal managed by Pelindo III was surpassing dwelling time at container terminal managed by Pelindo II at Tanjung Priok Port in the same period of 4.9 days.

Director of Operations and Commercial of PT Pelindo III, M.Iqbal, said that the condition of dwelling time in the container terminal environment managed by BUMN was due to licensing issues from the agencies and export-related export business, so the containers have not been issued by the consignee from the port.
